Answer:

Explanation:For an atom to be stable the outmost shell most be filled with electron i.e it most obey the octet rule which state that for an atom to be stable it most be fully filled with electron in there outermost shell.

Which group or groups of atoms are the only atoms with f orbitals A. All atoms heavier than barium B. All atoms heavier than kry
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

All atoms heavier than barium

Explanation:

In the periodic table, elements are divided into blocks. We have the;

s- block elements

p- block elements

d- block elements

f- block elements

However, immediately after Barium, we now encounter elements that have f-orbitals. Barium possesses a fully filled d-orbital. Hence after it, we see elements with 4f and 5f orbitals called the Lanthanides and actinides. The elements following the lanthanide and actinide series possess completely filled f-orbitals as inner orbitals.

Hence elements heavier than barium all possess f-orbitals.

Which substance has a coefficient of 2 when you balance the equation for this redox reaction? cu(s) + hno3(aq) → cu(no3)2(aq) +
Mama L [17]
In this redox reaction, the Cu goes from oxidation state of (0) to (+2), therefore it oxidises. N in HNO₃ goes from oxidation state of (+5) to N in NO with oxidation state of (+2) and becomes reduced. 
Cu acts as the reducing reagent and HNO₃ is the oxidising agent.
oxidation half reaction
Cu ---> Cu²⁺ + 2e  --1)
reduction half reaction 
4H⁺ + 3e + NO₃⁻ ---> NO + 2H₂O --2)
to balance the number of electrons , 1) x3 and 2) x2
3Cu ---> 3Cu²⁺ + 6e
8H⁺ + 6e + 2NO₃⁻ ---> 2NO + 4H₂O 
add the 2 equations 
3Cu + 8H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ --->  3Cu²⁺ + 2NO + 4H₂O 
add 6 nitrate ions to both sides to add up to 8 and form acid with 8H⁺ ions
3Cu + 8HNO₃ --->  3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O 
Balanced equation for the redox reaction is as follows;
3Cu(s) + 8HNO₃(aq) → 3Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO(g) + 4H₂O<span>(l)

NO has a coefficient of 2

Relative to electrons and electron states, what does the ml quantum number specify
Anastaziya [24]
<span>Magnetic quantum number specify orientation of electrons in magnetic field </span>and number of electron states (orbitals) in subshells..
Magnetic quantum number (ml) specifies the orientation in space of an orbital of a given energy and shape . Magnetic quantum number divides the subshell into individual orbitals which hold the electrons, there are 2l+1 orbitals in each subshell. For example, p orbitals (and their electrons) have three orientations in spase (px, py and pz).

You are carefully watching the temperature of your melting point apparatus as it is heating up. At 132 C it is still a white sol
Lisa [10]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Since the experiment is set out to determine the melting point of the white solid, after missing the melting point due to distraction, there are two possible solutions and both involves a repeat of the experiment.</em>

1. The first one is to allow the molten substance to solidify again and then repeat the experiment. This time around, a critical attention should be paid to be able to notice the melting point temperature once the temperature gets to 132 C.

2. The second solution would be discard the molten substance and repeat the experiment with the a new solid one. Similarly, critical attention should be paid once the temperature gets to 132 C since it is sure that the melting point lies within 132 and 138 C.
